Instructions
- Chop chicken into cubes.
- Slice onions in fine rings.
- Melt ghee over medium heat and add onions. Stir until softened or starting to brown.
- Stir in garlic, ginger, red chilis, and garam masala.
- Add chicken and stir and brown the chicken for five minutes.
- Stir in tomato paste, salt, and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for twenty minutes.

Potato Straws
- Pour water and salt into a large bowl and stir.
- Grate the potato on the largest holes of a grater, and put into the bowl. Stir briefly.
- Remove a handful of potato straws and squeeze the water out. Place on paper towel and pat dry.
- Melt ghee in a skillet for deep-frying and add potato straws in small amounts. Too much at a time can cause the ghee to bubble and overflow. Remove when golden and crispy.
